I've lived in Lancaster County for more than 30 years but I've never made pot pie. I don't want to get into making the noodles so does anyone have a recipe that includes store bought noodles?

I've made the real deal pot pie before, and I can understand your not wanting to do the noodles, but if you cook the store bought noodles in your chicken broth, I think it may come out more starchy tasting than real pot pie, but it's worth a try! On the other hand, the flour from the noodles is what thickens the broth, so it could work that way too. Not much help, I know, but the only tip I can think of. If you try it and it works, let me know!!

My recommendation, stop at the Amish stand at Central Market. The name escapes me. They have Pot Pie noodles that will fit the bill.
Recommendation #2: if you do not want to make it at all. Go to the Turkey Lady and get her Turkey Pot Pie. There are frozen, I think $4.00/Ea and excellent. We had them for dinner last night. They are not in the case so you have to ask for them out of the freezer.

Thanks for the tips. I always bought it at the grocery store but it is getting outrageously expensive. It was $13.00 for something like a quart and a half.

Being from the midwest, this is what I call chicken pot pie.

I've never had the local version, but I think it's what we called chicken and noodles. The noodles were made with flour, egg and water and were time-consuming but not difficult. Now I'm hungry.............

How do you think it gets that pretty yellow color? Seriously, I was noodlephobic for a while and then just broke down and made them one day. As A1 says, it isn't hard, and it tastes soooooo much better with real homemade noodles. I roll out the dough and use a pizza cutter to make them into diamond shapes--you just drop them into the pot that's already cooking with the other stuff in the recipe I use. You will be so proud of yourself if you do it.

Our family calls that pot pie too, and my grandmother was PA Dutch from Shippensburg!
What ya'll call pot pie, we of southern american descent (Dad's side) call Chicken n dumplings. And yes, Hope, the dumplings are handmade, rolled out and cut!

You'll be at the store anyway. Saffron is usually at the checkout counter. Grab a packet and drop the sprigs, twigs, (whatever they're called) into the pot after you take out the chicken to cut up.
